I used to be able to search a subject and have the "results" show up with a new tab, but now it opens the result in the same tab, how do I fix this?

I have tried repeatedly to get the options section to show how to do this but everything changed with the "new-and-improved(?)" Mozilla!
Could someone please explain to me how to get this to work like it used to (open search results or links in a new tab)??? PLEASE, it is driving me nuts since my slow @ssed computer and AT&T (should be AS&S without the &) internet, makes me remember the bad old days of the 286 computer load times:
Down memory lane...
Power button on ==> go take a Shower, Shave, and the other S ==> Make coffee ==> enable program in command line (pre-windows) ==> fix breakfast and another coffee cup ==> curse at computer because it made you forget to add another switch to your command line...
How many remember those days?!
They say laughter is the best medicine, except I'm not laughing about the new Mozilla anymore :(

Could you clarify where you are doing your search?
''For Firefox's "Search bar",'' which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sear''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.openintab''' preference to switch it from false to true.
If you test, does it work?
''For searches from other places,'' could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

  • I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto.  I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past.  How do I fix this?  How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

  • Downloaded new software to version 6 but now my phone won't connect to 3G. How can I fix this?

    I downloaded new software for iPhone. Now my phone won't connect to 3G. How do I fix this??

    You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to re-enable the add-on and let us know whether it works in Firefox 6.

  • If two iphones were updated using the same apple id and now are receiving the same messages, how do i fix this?

    Hey guys. So i recently downloaded ios7 for my iphone 4s and so did my mom. But my mom decided to update her phone as well using the same apple id. Now she is recieving all of my messages instead of me. Please let me know how I could fix this. Thank you.

    Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

  • New version of itunes wont download to my pc it keeps saying i have an invalid signature and stops the download. How can i fix this?

    When i try to download the new version of itunes my computer says it cannot download and tells me to click the download only option. When i do this it then tells me the download has been stopped due to an invalid signature.
    How can i fix this?

    That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    My grandson setup my iMac last night and now I am not seen as administrator only guest. How do I fix this?

    Log out of your account and log in to the admin account. If there is a password, ask him what the password is and tell him to set up an admin account for you.

  • Sent folder is full, i have deleted the mesages and still get the same error, HOW DO I FIX THIS?

    I have read mozillas help question and have not been able to fix my problem, I am having the same problem with the trash folder.

    If you want to keep those messages but reduce the file size:
    Archive your Sent folder.
    How to set up Archive options - if not already set.
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
    Archive by month and year and choose to 'keep exisitng folder structure of archived messages'
    Then select the 'Sent' folder to see emails.
    click on first email to get focus.
    Press 'Ctrl' key and 'A' key to select all emails.
    They will be shown as 'conversations in the Message Pane'.
    click on the 'Archive' button.
    This should empty the Sent folder and place all sent emails in 'Archives' under the respective year, month and Sent folder.

  • When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    I really hate having to use two windows instead of being able to use tabs.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I can't open a new tab. how do I fix this?

    I see the tab button to open a new window. It does nothing when I press it. I read all the troubleshooting and nothing works. I work with multiple tabs so I need this fixed asap.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)<br />
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbSTC/3.11.3.15590

    You can't fix this, called Activation Lock, & currently there is no way around it. With no way to contact the previous owner, & no way to get your money back, you own a useless paperweight.
    Apple can't/won't help you.

  • When I connect with someone on FaceTime, the camera shows me sideways and no matter how I turn it, it is the same. How can I fix this?

    When I connect with someone on FaceTime, the camera shows me sideways. I have tried turning it in all directions but no good. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi nana450,
    If you are having unusual rotation issues in FaceTime with your camera image, you may want to try a restart/reset of your iPad, as outlined in the following article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Java platform se 7 u is vunerable iv tried updating still the same problem how do i fix this?

    when i try to use this add on i get that error message and tells me to update it after updating it the problem continues.

    hello, first uninstall old versions of java as described at http://java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml
    afterwards go to java.com and download the current version of the plugin (in case you're asked if you want to install the 32bit or 64bit version, for firefox you'll have to choose the '''32bit''' variant of the plugin, since firefox on windows is a 32bit browser).
